The intention of my body of work was to invite the audience to love the unloved. It is a close study of types of life that are often misunderstood, and represents a counter argument to the categorisation of these aspects of the natural world as ‘insignificant’ and ‘unfavoured’. I was inspired by the artist Annette Messager whose work examines the interplay between the human and the monstrous.
